The Watch List season has started and FSU is well represented in round 1.

QB Jameis Winston, WR Rashad Greene and RB Karlos Williams were named to the Maxwell Award watch list for the player of the year.

DE Mario Edwards and CB P.J. Williams are on the Bednarik Award watch list for the defensive player of the year.

WR/KR Levonte “Kermit” Whitfield named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list for the most versatile player in major college football.

All three were announced today.

The Maxwell is the only major award that Winston did not win in his freshman year. He was a finalist but the award went to Alabama QB AJ McCarron after Winston won the Heisman, Davey O’Brien and Walter Camp among a slew of other trophies.

Greene, the Seminoles’ leading receiver during their national championship season with 76 catches for 1,128 yards, was on a handful of All-America first teams a year ago. Williams emerged after he was moved to running back early in the season and finished with 730 yards on 91 carries for an 8.0 average. He is projected to have a breakout 2014 season.

Edwards had 9.5 tackles of loss including 3.6 sacks. Williams had three interceptions.
